With the support of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Mozambique hopes to introduce a new model of agricultural practice.

The interest was expressed following a meeting with the president of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Akinwumi Ayodeji Adesina, on the sidelines of the CPLP Summit, which ended yesterday on the island of Sal, Cape Verde.

“There is a concept that the AfDB has financed in Ghana, with a lot of interest, where an agro-industrial area is established, with production not only for export, but also a method that uses technologies and knowledge, that develops the whole area, including access roads, agro-processing, the entire agricultural chain. So we want to see if technicians from Ghana can come to Mozambique soon to assist, advise and then see what can we do in this area, but we also want a focus on industrialisation, especially youth employment, which has been the focus of this Bank. So it was a productive conversation. Once again we remain firm to work with AfDBd,” president Nyusi said.

Mozambique’s President Filipe Nyusi and Akimune Adesina spent time together evaluating the state of the partnership between Mozambique and the financial institution, with the AfDB reiterating on the same occasion that it would finance the construction of the Mueda-Negomano road in Cabo Delgado province.
